Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Mix first five dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir well.

Place egg, oil, and extract in a small bowl and beat until frothy, either by hand with a whisk or with an electric mixer for about 30 seconds.

Pour liquid mixture into dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough is mixed. Can use low speed on a mixer for about 1 minute.

Place dough on a lightly floured board and shape into a ball. Cut in half.

Roll each half into a log approximately 12" long. Flatten top slightly.

Place dough on cookie sheet and bake until lightly golden, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove from oven. Use a bread knife or other serrated knife and slice at approximately 3/4" intervals to get 18 biscotti per half of dough.

Place sliced biscotti back on cookie sheet with cut side up and bake until lightly golden, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from oven, turn biscotti over and bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a rack.

Helpful hints

Store up to 2 weeks in an airtight container or freeze.

Traditional biscotti are made with just anise seed; however, today, there are many “gourmet” versions with various dried fruits and/or nuts. Keep in mind that nuts are high in phosphorus and potassium; however, a reduced amount can be added.

What's everyone saying?

Is this recipe using homemade baking powder? Or are the nutrients per serving for store-bought baking powder? I haven't made this recipe, but I need to rate it so will give it a 3 stars for hopefullness of it. Dietitian comment: No it uses regular baking powder.

how on earth can a recipe have 2 tlbs of such little liquid to 2 1/2 cups of flour.. If written properly one should not have to add water or any other liquid. Must have been a HUGE egg they used. Dietitian comment: Thanks for your feedback. We will check this recipe and make adjustments. Similar biscotti recipes do contain more eggs.
